How can we approach a museum today that was built over a century ago to serve colonial propaganda? In Brussels, after five years of renovation, the Africa Museum has reopened its doors, offering new forms of exhibition. Visitors can be seen engaging in discussions with their guides as well as freely wandering through the spaces. This diverse crowd of museum-goers shapes the contours of a place where, despite the new narratives, the past seems to linger unresolved.
